Travel Oregon conducting survey on fire-related tourism impacts

During 2017, Oregon experienced one of its most severe wildfire seasons in years. Residents and businesses were affected throughout the state and the impacts on Oregon’s tourism industry were widespread.

Travel Oregon wants to know more about the economic impacts of these wildfires on Oregon’s travel and tourism industry to make sure our story is shared in the conversations surrounding the future of wildfire management in Oregon.

We are surveying travel-related businesses and organizations throughout the state, including hotels and other lodging properties, restaurants, retail venues, recreation businesses and organizations, event organizers, transportation and tour operators, and attractions.

The survey is available until March 9. If you have a travel-related business or organization in Oregon, be sure to take the survey and share the link with your partners.

The results of the study will be compiled by Dean Runyan Associates and Destination Analysts. Results will be shared with the industry at the conclusion of the study, which is expected to be April 30. If you have questions, contact Ladan@TravelOregon.com.
